2521  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Qubit Finance got hacked, suffers $80 million loss on: January 28, 2022, 10:42:27 PM
Crypto exchangers hacking are now occurring frequently. Every week news comes out that any exchange got hacked.
It's been happening every year. And this is the reason why many of us here keep reminding the others that don't leave huge amounts of crypto assets in exchanges or finances if we're not even going to trade and will just hold it, they're not a place to store our crypto for long holding.

Qubit Finance is the latest decentralized finance Defi protocol hacked. According to their tweet hackers steals over $80 million from Qubit Finance.  Hacker stole over 206,000 Binance Coin from QBridge protocol. The coins are worth like $80 million. The protocol does not accept any deposit asset in the platform.

Source: https://twitter.com/QubitFin/status/1486870238591594497
Another big money is taken from this defi. I guess it has something to do with their smart contracts and the hackers see the hope in it. I'm not technical on it but these hackers always look for that hole for them to penetrate. I saw the tweet of qubit that they're negotiating with the hackers.
2522  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Belgian MP becomes the first European politician to accept salary in Bitcoin on: January 28, 2022, 09:40:12 PM
Just as what I've thought of and comparing it with the New York's mayor. I thought that this Belgian MP would be accepting directly his salary in bitcoin.
But just like the mayor, they have to convert and buy bitcoin using this salary. More and more of these politicians are seeing the true potential of bitcoin. Wishing that more of them would be investing in bitcoin but I also smell that bad politicians will take advantage of it too.

I can't agree more because it really sucks when the support isn't helping you at all which should be helping you as their job.
I've also experienced this, sometimes it's just a hit or miss there are times where i'd get in contact with a good support and then there's other supports who barely have any clue on what i'm trying to point out.
That's really what we don't like as per these casinos with their support. I hope that they have an evaluation for their supports and just after helping or did nothing to their customers concern.
I know that they have that type of rankings so that the management will see who are those effective and being liked by their customers and those that aren't really excelling into their tasks as a support.
2524  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Why don't popular micro/freelancers sites adopt bitcoin? on: January 27, 2022, 10:49:40 PM
There are some freelancers website that are accepting crypto but, they really are a dedicated crypto platform and marketplace. I get that unlike those existing freelancer websites and marketplaces, they're relying on the existing payment method, PayPal, Transferwise, Xoom and other payment methods that pays fiat. But as said, there could be a conflict on their business and regulations of their government where they're located and that's why they don't adopt it yet. I'm waiting for a freelancers website like freelancer.com or upwork to allow bitcoin payments for their users. But I think it will take time as I've read a question about the subject from someone there in the latter and answered that they're not just ready yet and they're not interested of adopting bitcoin, something like that.
2525  Economy / Speculation / Re: bitcoin circle with simple words ? on: January 27, 2022, 09:35:10 PM
4 year cycle, that's what they call it. After the halving, bitcoin usually increases and that's proven with all of these years. You wait and see on 2024 we're going to have another halving and after that, it's expected to have the bull run again. Maybe by the same year, bull takes place just like what happened 2 years ago. But it's also possible that the pattern will be different by that year, nobody knows but if it's about the history, that's how it goes.
2526  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: A crash is also a chance to change allocations of your coins on: January 27, 2022, 08:33:05 PM
But it has to be done to sell old coins.
Just look at Litecoin!
It was very famous but now, nobody wants Litecoin anymore.
New coins have outscored Litecoin and it will happen again.
Right now, Tron, Cardano and Ripple will follow to what happened Litecoin.
Only few coins will keep a position as a top project and a bear market is a good time to buy fresh coins.
You have the point about Litecoin and for some old coins. But there are still those older coins that can't be avoided to hold. I agree to you about the bear market like eliminating many of the projects in the market. It's like the way to remove a huge market cap for them because everyone is going to be assuring that they've invested to the best projects and that would be bitcoin. And with the choices OP has given, I think it must include Dot and Sol too.
2527  Economy / Gambling / Re: Casino behavior that turn you off on: January 26, 2022, 08:33:24 PM
The same criteria. Bad support is really irritating.
I can't agree more because it really sucks when the support isn't helping you at all which should be helping you as their job.

I wonder why they can't employ professionals if their earnings are too high? But happily, there are online casinos with good support.
That's about the screening, there are people that are good and kind during screening and interviews. But in actual work, they're starting to act naturally and don't seem to protect the business at all. I agree there are casinos that have good support and are well trained.
2528  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is it safe to list token on vindax if want to start with very low budget on: January 26, 2022, 07:13:08 PM
How much is that listing price there? If the price is right, you'll be in a good exchange. But if the price is low then you don't expect that there's going to be a decent volume for your token.
Well, anyway it's not the listing that matters but the project itself if it has a use. Whether you list it there or not, if your project seems to be useful then it will be liked by investors which will make the volume.
2529  Economy / Economics / Re: One nation one currency... on: January 26, 2022, 05:34:03 PM
If you like reading things such as conspiracies, you have probably heard and read about a one-world government. That also pertains to one-world currency. The funny thing is that isn't that a coincidence that bitcoin is uniting all of us and agreeing that this is our money that doesn't have any boundary and is good to spend wherever we are? But you know what, realistically speaking, you see countries, boundaries, they're having wars and disagreement with each other.
2530  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: No regrets for the NYC Mayor receiving his first Bitcoin paycheck during the dip on: January 26, 2022, 03:47:58 PM
How long he's going to receive/convert his paycheck in bitcoin, one time, two times, three times? That doesn't really matter at all and it's just the message that he's trying to convey for the recipient/conversion of it. It's a good initiative for him and he's an example to his city and he understands the volatility of it. These media really would like to think that there's something doing this. It's like those celebrities that have been paid to advertise a product and asked to receive their payment into stocks.
2531  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Marketplace (Altcoins) / Re: What is the reason for this marketplace on: January 26, 2022, 12:55:20 PM
It's because this marketplace for altcoins isn't just all about buying and selling cryptocurrencies. Stuff that is for sale and the seller is good receiving payments in altcoins, that's one reason for this marketplace. Physical goods that can be paid in altcoins, that's it.
This isn't the only marketplace existing for that purpose, there are many of them actually and in the forum, there are others too that you can see like the Goods section.
2532  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: little knowledge about gambling - before I knowing bitcointalk.org forum on: January 25, 2022, 11:01:20 AM
As we know that Gambling offers players the chance to pocket a lot of money, but it can also lead to significant monetary losses (which we all had). Even though I'm new to this forum, but I want to share a little experience related to gambling on various online sites. While you may hear it often, here's a snippet:
1. Know when is the right time to stop playing.
2. Set limits and monitor your money.
3. Safeguard your budget.
The best gamblers I know are constantly vigilant and always evaluate the balance between losses and gains.
And The best advice I could give to someone who wants to start gambling is probably to never start gambling to win. It's definitely the worst approach that in the long run leads to the financial ruin of any novice gambler.
They won't be called best gamblers if a simple control to themselves can't do. But they're called for that with a reason and they've been through a lot of experiences in gambling. I'm sure that they have their toughest days and moments in gambling and they also became worst for themselves that they cannot stop themselves. They've dealt with those problems but the thing with them, they've managed to overcome and win not just with the games but also with the struggles in gambling.
2533  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Uruguay installs its first Bitcoin ATM on: January 25, 2022, 08:02:51 AM
this is a very positive thing for bitcoin if indeed Uruguay has created a bitcoin ATM then automatically that they have adopted bitcoin for transactions in that country with them creating a bitcoin ATM we really hope this is not just a discourse because there are so many contradictions what has happened to various groups of bitcoin but what Uruguay is doing is a breath of fresh air for bitcoin miners in the midst of the current drop in bitcoin prices, of course adoption from various countries is really needed like what Uruguay is doing at this time
It's just the first but I agree that it's a positive thing as they've already made their first bitcoin ATM. It's a good start and even it may not be that great as the other news.
Every time we see a bitcoin related progress, like this one, it's making us feel proud that it's moving forward even for some countries slowly.
2534  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Investor Psychology on: January 25, 2022, 06:37:56 AM
That's always the case and even in 2017. But I think, as the same pattern goes, if they've bought at the top and they're worried and it's good if they haven't sold.
Just imagine how much bitcoin would be after the peak last year and the same for those who have bought on 2017 peak and just held it for a few years, they might get their returns soon and could have a 2x-3x if it's a whole bitcoin. But if it's just a few decimals, that won't really matter if it's about $500 and above.
2535  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: NFT is art or monkey busines? on: January 25, 2022, 04:39:16 AM
and what do you think about NFT?
Another wealth transfer and for some it's a way to launder money. Whatever is the description that you think in your minds, there's nothing to change for those sellers that are making a money from it. Actually, I envy those people that have been selling their arts through NFT and making a lot of money from it. It's all about sale, if these people are making money from selling ugly or beautiful arts, then so be it, there's something that they do to make it sold out.
2536  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Finally got paid for some work in bitcoin on: January 24, 2022, 07:53:46 PM
Congratulations! That's the best feeling ever right? You can do more with that and you'll get more payments in bitcoin and that means more sources that you can ask for if you can do a lot of things from it.
You've already started and just keep up the good work and you'll definitely going to love accumulating more bitcoins through receiving payment in that form.
2537  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Gary Russell vs Mark Magsayo WBC Featherweight Title on: January 24, 2022, 12:24:57 PM
I'm impressed with his endurance, his speed and strength, we all can say that he's well prepared for this match. And do you think guys that his age is a big factor against Russell? He's 26 years old while Russell is 33 years old.
yep, finally we see a new world champion here and with this I'm very happy Cheesy

IMO, it's not a matter of age now because indeed when it comes to age he is still very young.
but indeed in this match we can see how age and experience don't really matter much in this match and magsayo's power is really crazy in this fight.
Congratulations to all of us who are in the gamble magsayo we should rejoice over this
I guess apart from his age one factor that helped him win is the condition of Russell. Thanks but no thanks and sorry but no sorry, it's a professional fight and there's no need for those factors to be felt regret for this win.

Indeed, Magsayo had really prepared well to fight Gary and become a world champion.
As expected, Gary Russell was experiencing some ring rust while on the other hand, Mark Magsayo was so confident about the fight and we could really see in the first few rounds that Magsayo has the upper hand and Russell was struggling to catch up on Magsayo's moves. But I'm really disappointed about how the judges scored the fight, it was the total opposite on how did the match go.

Congratulations again, Mark "Magnifico" Magsayo on becoming a world champion!
Yeah, Russell has that experience but as I'm saying, it's a pro fight and there's no excuse as it had happened already.
2538  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What are the most important features of an online crypto casino? on: January 24, 2022, 09:47:04 AM
Sign-up speed isn't really a matter. That's one of the easiest and I think it's no problem even if the process is taking any longer. And most of the casinos have their speed in withdrawals and also they're good in limits. So here goes what I think are the important ones for a casino.
I agree it's not that important as most casinos usually require email and a strong password but there are people who prefer quick registration like for example the one click sign up provided by nitrogensports.
Yeah, I've known that type of registration that they provide. Well, I gotta say that they're likeable but not really a great requirement since more of the inside is what's we really see as an important factor when it comes to the best gambling experience that we're looking for.
Just as what everybody is saying, there's a point of choosing what we think is the main feature that we need as we gamble.

I think this all feeds into one other factor: Reliability. It's all very well having an online casino, but you need to be able to keep it online. This sort of site is a number one target of thieves right now - sometimes operating in a legal grey area, holding vast amounts of easy to launder funds that are instantly available anywhere online and sometimes possessing vast troves of private customer documents that can allow further abuses to take place. This makes them a big target for DDOS based extortion and it must eat vast amounts of money to stay secure + accessible. From a customer perspective: Speed of the site can make a huge difference, especially if you're playing in game bets and you want to know that you can withdraw your funds at any time, which can be extremely worrying if the site goes down for any reason.
It's a different thing from what I've about sign-up speed and the actual speed in-game. It's true that it matters when it comes to those factors that you've mentioned and that test out the casino that you're playing if ever something wrong goes on.
While some of the moments that a casino is down, if it's unannounced then that's worrying but usually, when they have to put it down, they're announcing it for some reasons like maintenance and upgrades.
2539  Economy / Speculation / Re: Are spectacular returns over for bitcoin? on: January 24, 2022, 08:36:20 AM
What is clear is that it is easier for something worth $0.01 to become worth $1 than for something worth $10K to become worth $1M.
I've seen people posting comparisons of the prices of bitcoin starting from 2011 to the present. In the past years, bitcoin's price multiplied more than it was during the bull run. As we have reached $69k, it's likely that it won't go more than 5x when we head for another cycle within the next few years. So, after this upcoming halving that's coming within the next 2 years, it's likely that we get 1.5x to 4x (probably maximum) IMHO.
2540  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: The bull is back? on: January 23, 2022, 09:22:33 PM
I've seen a lot of alts on this day making green wherein seems the bearish is getting weaker. Perhaps if market keep showing the same thing for couple of days bull will gonna take over the market again in my personal opinion, because it's been how many weeks it's red and suddenly most of my favourites alts turn into green and gave me profits this day using scalping strategy.. What do you think guys is this the start of bullrun or just a sign that soon will be another season?
Going green doesn't mean it's fully recovered. As you can see, you're only looking at the colors but not with the numbers and percentage of that gain.
It's actually not a gain if it just came from a correction. There's still a lot to recover from the past corrections. I know that it's quite encouraging but I don't see the market yet going green and with at least 10%-15% of recovery.
